Скачать или смотреть Voting YES on the DVUSD M&O Override - Support Students by keeping full day kindergarten in DVUSD.

The state only funds half-day kindergarten, 2.5 hours. That means districts that want to offer full-day kindergarten must cover the additional cost themselves through local overrides.

Impact on families & districts:
Without extra funding, families may have to pay tuition for a full-day program (if the district offers it), or children only receive a half-day, which can put them at a disadvantage socially and academically.

Districts like DVUSD have historically relied on the M&O (Maintenance & Operations) override to cover this gap so they can provide full-day kindergarten to all students tuition-free.

Why overrides matter:
An override is a locally approved funding mechanism that allows school districts to exceed the state’s revenue limit.
For DVUSD, part of that funding supports full-day kindergarten, smaller class sizes, teacher retention, and specialized programs.
If the override is not renewed, the district could lose the ability to fund full-day kinder for all students, forcing tough cuts or shifting costs to families.
